Due to the large number of people and the leadership of Ke Wu and Ke Shan, two professional craftsmen and apprentices, Zhang Chao's renovation project of the old cave is still progressing very smoothly. It took less than half an hour to write the "Fun" www.biquge.info pavilion, and everyone moved the original miscellaneous belongings in the cave to the empty space in the courtyard, and then demolished it with a bang, and the smoky black stove was demolished.

A group of descendants of Zhangjiagou, under the command of Ke Shan, took a willow basket and carried over the large adobe bricks that his family had originally planned to use to build a new cellar.

These adobe bricks are very large, like city bricks, at least several times larger than ordinary green bricks. It's all tamped over and over again, and it's just right to borrow it now.

In fact, there is no technology in the panhuo kang, the key is to understand the structure. With Zhang Chao on the side to guide and detailed construction drawings, Ke Shan and Ke Wu did it very quickly. Bricks are piled up, and the mortar mixed with loess and sand plays a good role in bonding. Whatever Zhang Chao says, they will base.

Before the afternoon, a kang that could hold five or six people had already been prepared. Ke Shan also specially found a large piece of wood from his house, which was processed and made into a kang rim, and Ke Xiaoba found a big reed mat from his own home, which can be regarded as his own contribution.

In this way, when the kang is dry, spread the kang mat and burn the fire, you can sleep on it warmly.

It was still early, and Zhang Chao commanded everyone to strike while the iron was hot, build a firewood stove behind the kang, and finally start building a chimney outside the house. Because this chimney Zhang Chao requires one zhang and three heights, it takes more time than the pankang, and he has to build scaffolding.

Zhang Chao took everyone to toss in the house, and soon attracted many children in the village to come to watch, and it didn't take long for the whole village to come. Everyone watched as if they were juggling, especially the newly built kang in the kiln, and they were very curious. When they heard that this kang was a place to sit and sleep in the future, they were very surprised.

"This kang can burn a fire, and it will be very warm when it comes." Ke Wu now fully believes in Zhang Chao, although he has not really experienced the warmth and comfort of this ondol, but this does not prevent him from explaining to the onlookers over and over again. Ke Wu, a cellar master apprentice who was not recognized by his father, has just built a new guy that even his father, an old cellar maker, has never built, and he can't help but be very proud.

Muramasa Ke'an soon arrived, and when he heard from his son's mouth about the effect of the two newly repaired things in the house, he pursed his lips and did not speak, but looked up and down and left and right at the new stove and the new kang.

"Is it really that amazing? Can this stove save a lot of firewood? ”

Zhang Chao nodded, "This stove has changed its structure to make ventilation smooth and does not accumulate dust, so it is easy to burn and save firewood, at least half of the firewood, and it also saves time." ”

Ke An nodded, circled around the kang again, and after watching it for a long time, he asked Zhang Chao again, "The fire burns under this kang, and the people sleep on it, won't it be uncomfortable?" ”

"Of course not, you don't need much firewood to warm the kang. During the day, even the fireworks for cooking can warm the ondol, so it is very warm to sit on it in winter. If it's at night, just add a little firewood, and it's enough to warm up all night. ”

"Good stuff."

Ke An is an old cellar maker, and he also knows how to cook these things. Although he hadn't really seen the power of these two new things, with his expert eyesight, he still found that these two things were not simple.

"If it's really as easy to use as you say, you won't be afraid of wind and snow in the future, no matter how cold it is." Muramasa sighed.

Ke Wu said to him a little proudly, "I'll build one for our family when I go back, in fact, this kang and firewood stove are very simple to build, just look at it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his father Ke Cun was knocked on his head by a violent millet.

Ke Wu was stunned, although Ke Wu was five big and three thick, black-faced and big, and he could still shoot a hard bow, and he had killed people on the battlefield. But in front of Lao Tzu, who was much thinner than him, he didn't even dare to take a breath after being beaten.

In these years, kings and ministers are fathers and sons, and the father is the heaven of the son. Not to mention knocking a few violent millets, even if you beat them with sticks, you can only bear them a little, avoid them a lot, and you don't dare to fight back at all.

Ke Wu just felt that he was beaten very wrongly, why did he beat me, there was no reason at all.

"This fire kang is San Lang's craft, have you asked San Lang, if you want to repair yourself, you can repair it yourself?" Father Ke didn't say anything to his son, hating iron but not steel. Ke Cun is an old cellar maker and an old craftsman. I began to learn art at the age of ten and have been a craftsman all my life, so I know the importance of craftsmanship for a craftsman.

The fire kang is a new thing, and it was not available in Guanzhong before. If this thing is really as good as Zhang Chao said, then this thing is amazing. To put it far, this is a craft that can eat for a lifetime, and even an iron rice bowl that can be passed on to children and grandchildren. Even if Zhang Sanlang has taught his son to pan kang now, it doesn't mean that his son can take this craft as his own.

If Zhang Sanlang is more generous, he can pass on this craft to his son, and his son will be regarded as San Lang's apprentice in the future, which means that he can use this craft. But if Saburo refuses to let his son use this craft and doesn't care about it, they can't say anything.

In short, craftsmanship is the ability of each family to eat, and it is easy not to peep and not pass on.

Now that his son has learned a hand, he has not asked Zhang Sanlang, so he has to repair the kang and stove for himself, which is very taboo in the eyes of old craftsmen.

"San Lang, uncle knows that you are a capable person. If you don't think the fifth child is stupid, you can accept him as one of your disciples, and let him give you a festival gift every year in the future. In the future, he will earn food by rewarding him for his craftsmanship, and he will definitely provide you with a portion. ”

Zhang Chao was stunned by Muramasa's words.

Changing a stove from a kang is really nothing in Zhang Chao's eyes, let alone a secret of craftsmanship. But looking at Mushimasa's appearance now, it seems that he attaches great importance to this. I also want Ke Wu to worship myself as a teacher, and I will give myself a New Year's gift in the future, and even make money with this craft in the future, and I have to honor myself.

"Muramasa, this is really nothing."

"San Lang, our family doesn't talk to each other, if you look at the fifth child, you will accept him as an apprentice, and he will also beg for more skills in life in the future. If you don't like him, then I will let him promise you that I will never use your craft in the future. If he dares, I will break his legs. "Muramasa's words are very tough.

Ke Wu also came back to his senses at this time, knowing that his father was also for his own good.

However, he still hesitated to call Zhang Chao, who was much younger than himself, a teacher.

Ke Shan over there wanted to open it more, and he also understood that although the pankang base stove was simple, this was Zhang Chao's unique craft, and if he didn't guide him, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it. In the future, if this kang and the new stove are easy to use, there will definitely be many people who will have to change it, and then this will become a good money-making craft.

"San Lang, if you don't think I'm stupid, take me Keshan as an apprentice."

"Uncle Dashan, this can't be helped, you are my elder."

Mura Zheng said on the side, "Craftsmanship is a thing, no matter how old or young, only about ability. If you have a craft, then you are the master of Dashan and Lao Wu, and if you are willing to let them learn from it, it is to reward them with food. ”

Zhang Chao thought for a while, "Murazheng, Uncle Shan, don't you look good, I will simply pull a team with Uncle Shan and Uncle Shan, and if this kang and the new stove are really easy to use in the future, and some people are willing to invite, then we will take over the work together." When the time comes, we will share it together, let's not talk about any masters and apprentices, just work together to make money, how about it? ”

"It's a good idea, but it should be a master and an apprentice. You are still the master, in the future, this team will be the kang stove Zhangjia class, San Lang is the head of the craftsman and the class master, what kind of work to take, how to work, how to distribute the money earned, this is all up to San Lang to say. The rules are set in front of you, and things will be easier to do later. "Mura is a very well-behaved old craftsman, many things that Zhang Chao didn't expect, or didn't think about, he thought of and said.

Regardless of whether Zhang Chao agrees or not, in the end, things were decided like this.

The construction team of the Pankang base stove was officially established, and it was initially determined that Zhang Chao was the head craftsman and class leader, and Ke Shan and Ke Wu were Zhang Chao's personal disciples and two deputy team leaders. As for the villagers of Zhangjiagou in the twenties and thirties who helped to make the kang base stove today, they were all included in this team.

Lao Cun Zheng also made a rule with everyone, in the future, the firewood stove is Zhang Chao's unique craft, and others are not allowed to steal the teacher, let alone work in the name of Zhang Chao's craft.

The work was taken over by Zhang Chao, and it was also arranged by Zhang Chao, and the money earned in the end was also arranged and distributed by Zhang Chao.

The villagers all agreed with this idea, and they didn't think that the village was talking too much for Zhang Chao, but felt that this thing should have been like this. is even very grateful to Mura Zheng for helping them speak, and also grateful to Zhang Chao for letting them join his Zhang family class, after all, in this way, they will also have more skills in the future, and they will not be overwhelmed.

Mura is striking while the iron is hot, for fear that Zhang Chao will regret it.

asked Zhang Wu to go to his house and fetch a jar of sorghum wine, and then invited Zhang Chao to the upper seat, and asked Keshan Ke Wu and other villagers who had newly joined Zhangjiaban to come forward to toast in turn.

Especially Ke Wu and Ke Shan, Murazheng specially asked the two to kneel and kowtow to Zhang Shan and bow to the teacher. In this way, even if the two of them are officially included in Zhang Chao's door wall, they have become his personal disciples of the kang stove technique.

"Master, when can this new kang stove be used?" Ke Shan is now a little impatient to see the role of the new kang stove. If it is really easy to use, then the newly established Zhangjiaban will be useful and find a way to make money.

"It's going to have to dry for a few days. Three days, three days at most, and you can see it for yourself. Zhang Chao is full of confidence in his kang and new stove.

Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, after three days, whether it can be used well or not, you will know if you try it.
